After a dramatic and heated governorship election, Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, didn’t hold back his disappointment following his loss to Okpebholo. In a heartfelt appeal, Obaseki expressed his frustration over what he called a "travesty of democracy" after the September 21st election results were announced. He lamented the impunity and disregard for the rule of law that clouded the process, leaving many Edo citizens feeling powerless and outraged.
But even in the face of this setback, Obaseki urged his supporters to keep calm and not let anger lead to violence or property destruction. "Peace and justice will always win at the end," he said, encouraging everyone to trust that legal avenues will eventually bring clarity and fairness.
While asking people to stay peaceful, the governor reminded everyone that democracy has its ways of correcting wrongs, and that his administration is still committed to the welfare and security of Edo people.
In his closing remarks, Obaseki called on the people to remain hopeful: “God bless Edo State and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said, ending on a note of resilience despite the defeat.
